Steam distilled Mo Yao - Myrrh, Commiphora myrrha

Our steam distilled Somali Myrrh essential oil has a sharp, balsamic aroma, and a hint of musk with a piercing, spicy, bitter edge.

**Compare our two Mo Yao/ Myrrh essential oils: Although our CO2 extracted Mo Yao and the steam distilled  are basically the same in medicinal properties and chemical composition, they differ in aroma and consistency. While both have the distinctive sharp balsamic aroma of Myrrh resin, there are notable differences. The aroma of the CO2 extracted Myrrh is relatively stronger yet softer, whereas the steam distilled is a bit more sharp. The consistency of the CO2 is quite thick and viscous and its color is a rich tawny amber. The steam distilled on the other hand is a thinner consistency and bright gold color.

Commiphora myrrha is native to parts of East Africa and the Middle East. Myrrh is the oleo gum resin from its sap.

Acute sprains of the lower back and legs may benefit from a blend of Mo Yao, Ru Xiang, Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum) and Du Huo Angelica pubescentis) using rubbing alcohol as a base to create a ligament.

Based on their ability to promote the healing of non healing skin lesions, sores and ulcerations, practitioners could consider a diluted blend of Mo Yao with Ru Xiang (Frankincense) and Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica) to apply around the area, avoiding open skin.

Mo Yao essential oil is also said to clear Lung and Stomach heat and may be helpful in gum swellings, toothache, and oral hygiene as well as thick yellow phlegm and cough.

CO2 extracted Egyptian Olibanum, Boswellia carterii, Frankincense
"Fragrant Breast, Fragrant Milk"

Frankincense from the French "franc encens" (ie: true, high quality incense)

Ru Xiang Essential oil has a rich, balsamic aroma whose effect is simultaneously soothing and invigorating. It gives one an overall sense of being relieved and released. It relaxes the diaphragm and deepens the breath.

Frankincense is tapped from the scraggly but hardy Boswellia trees by slashing the bark, which is called striping, and allowing the exuded resin to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears. The Boswellia carterii resin used to make this Ru Xiang essential oil is sourced from trees in Egypt and extracted by CO2 in southern China.

Frankincense has a long and fascinating history. For example it is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible book of Exodus where it is named levonah meaning "white". It was one of the ingredients in the perfume of the sanctuary. Its fragrant odor was a symbol of the Divine name and an emblem of prayer.

Ru Xiang oil's characteristic abilities to invigorate the blood, relax the sinews, smooth the movement of blood and Qi and ease pain extend beyond the physical to calm the emotions and lift the spirit.

Topically Ru Xiang essential oil may be applied to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and enhance the healing of wounds, ulcers and scars. According to Li Shi Zhen's Ben Cao Gang Mu, Ru Xiang, "eliminates the toxicity of sores and deep-seated toxic boils, supporting the interior and protecting the Heart."

Frankincense essential oil is strongly anti-oxidant and may be used as a fixative to prevent rancidity.

Steam distilled Somali Olibanum, Boswellia carterii, Frankincense
"Fragrant Breast, Fragrant Milk"

The heavenly aroma of our Steam distilled, Somali Frankincense essential oil has a bright, heady, balsamic sweetness with a light, sharp, floral spice. The consistency and color are thin and light.

This exquisite, Frankincense essential oil starts with wildcrafted, specifically sourced, fair trade and sustainably harvested oleo gum resin from Boswellia carterii trees growing in the Puntland region of northeast Somalia, East Africa. The resin is then hydro-distilled in small batches at an artisan distillery in the US. The importer was once a member of the tribes that harvested wild grown Frankincense resins in Puntland before moving to the US.

There are several species and varieties of Frankincense trees each producing a slightly different type of resin and essential oil. Differences in soil and climate create even more diversity of the resin, even within the same species.

The Frankincense resin is tapped from the Boswellia trees by slashing the bark (which is called striping) and allowing the resin to bleed out and harden. The resin then forms what is referred to as “tears”. The tears are the blood of the Frankincense tree. The ancients refer to these tears as crystallized drops of sunlight.

Frankincense trees grow in regions of the world that are extremely dry and experience intense sunlight. Considered a sacred substance among many ancient and modern cultures, frankincense is a representation of light in an energetic sense. The diffused essential oil may be used as an alternative to the traditional burning of the resin (“smudging”) in sacred ceremonies and meditation for its protective, purifying, and grounding effects.

Ru Xiang’s powerful abilities to invigorate the blood, relax the sinews, smooth the movement of blood and Qi and ease pain extend beyond the physical to calm the emotions and lift the spirit.

Ru Xiang essential oil is healing for the skin. It promotes the regeneration of healthy cells and maintains the health of existing cells and tissues. As such It is beneficial for wound healing, scarring, boils and acne as well as to assist stretch marks to fade. It is naturally antiseptic.

(Northwest Australia - sustainably grown)

Indian Sandalwood essential oil has an exotic aroma that is sweet, creamy and smooth, with warm spice tones. The wood is steam distilled to produce this oil.

Santalum album is a tropical evergreen native to south and southeast Asia and has been utilized for medicinal and religious purposes for centuries; this species of Sandalwood is also traditionally used in Chinese Medicine.

The flowers produced by this tree are initially white in juvenile trees, and over time will start producing red flowers in mature trees; the bark of young trees appears to be dark (almost black) and smooth and will transform into a reddish and cracked appearance with age. Black is the color of the Water element and is associated with the Kidneys; the Kidneys store pre-natal essence and thus our ancestral energy. White is the color of the Metal element and is associated with the Lungs; the Lungs house the “Po”, or Corporeal Soul, which is embodied during conception. Over time, both the flowers and bark become red; red is the color of the Heart, the Imperial Fire, and houses the Shen and consciousness. The maturation of this tree symbolizes the transition from ancestral and instinctual characteristics to a more deeply conscious and complex state of existence. It is estimated that sandalwood trees start to enter their mature states and appearance after 7 years, and start producing its distinguishable aroma after 10 years. In Chinese Medicine philosophy, humans have benchmarks in growth and maturation in 7 year (in females) and 8 year (in males) cycles, and 10 years represents renewal; and most interestingly, this tree appears to follow a similar pattern. Perhaps this similarity is an explanation to the innate connection between humans and this revered evergreen.

Australian Sandalwood represents an ecologically responsible alternative to mitigate former overproduction of this endangered tree and subsequent environmental degradation . The growers/distillers of this Sandalwood are committed to a sustainable sandalwood culture, employing practices and techniques to support mixed-age plantations with both new and old growth trees, while protecting and supporting the native wildlife and biodiversity of Australia. No pesticides are ever used in the production of Sandalwood in Australia.

Organic, steam distilled Acori tatarinowii Rhizoma
Acorus, Grass-leaf sweet-flag
“Stone flourishing reed”

Shi Chang Pu’s aroma is bright and sharp with a clean, bitter lemon-
like scent. It’s effect rises into the brain bringing a heady expansion
which sharpens and focuses the mind and the senses. This essential
oil os produced by CO2 extraction.

According to Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (Divine Framer’s Materia Medica) Shi Chang Pu is classified as a “superior grade” herb. The text says, “It mainly treats cold damp impediment and cough and counterflow qi ascent. It opens the heart portals, supplements the five viscera, frees the nine orifices, brightens the eyes and sharpens the hearing. Protracted taking may make the body light, improve memory, prevent confusion, and prolong life. It’s other name is Chang Yang (flourishing Yang).”

It’s main actions in more modern times, to open the sensory orifices, revive consciousness, pacify the spirit and harmonize the Middle Jiao are attributed to its ability to vaporize phlegm, transform dampness and remove turbidity.

Shi Chang Pu is said to improve sensory and cognitive functions to
treat forgetfulness, tinnitus, deafness, dizziness and dulled sensorium
as well as seizures, stupor, muted consciousness, aphasia and
delirium. Diffusing and inhaling is the method recommended for this
purpose as aroma affects the brain and spirit very directly and internal
ingestion of Acorus essential oil with it’s *asarone component is
controversial. See below). For emergency situations, direct application
of Shi Chang Pu to Jing Well points might also prove helpful.
To benefit the eyes for ulcerations of the cornea, essential oils of Shi
Chang Pu, Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi flos), and Hu Po (Amber) have been
recommended, diluted and applied to appropriate acupuncture points.

Dendrobium Stone-bushel Stem

Native to Southern China, Dendobium is found largely in mountain rainforests and lowlands and tends to grow on limestone moss covered outcroppings. Dendrobium is a genus of orchids in the Orchidaceae family. The genus name comes from the Greek words dendron, meaning "tree", and bios, meaning "life". Our Shi Hu essential oil is extracted from the Dendrobium Stone-bushel stem, and although very mild aromatically, what it lacks in fragrance it makes up for in utility, application and healing potential. 

In the Shen Nong Ben Cao (Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica) Shi Hu is given the status of an upper grade herb. It is said that Daoist Chinese monks would traditionally drink Shi Hu tea as a means of promoting and nurturing Jing and longevity and fostering stamina and immunity. Shi Hu with its cool, slightly sweet nature and its affinity for the Stomach and Kidney has a wide array of uses and benefits and is most renowned for its ability to generate fluids and to nourish Yin. Accordingly, it can be used quite effectively in addressing cases of severe thirst, parched, dry mouth and throat and fevers causing depletion and injury to the fluids. In addition to its benefits of clearing heat, generating fluids and addressing stomach ache and abdominal discomfort, Shi Hu is wonderful at nourishing Kidneys and Jing (essence) and thus can be used to address discomfort, soreness and weakness in the knees, tendons and lower back.

Dermatologically, Dendrobium stem can be quite beneficial in aiding those dealing with constant dry and rough skin.

CO2 extracted Zizyphus seed, spiny date seed

The rich, complex aroma of San Zao Ren is sour, musty and smoky, embodying Five Element correspondences to the Liver, Spleen, Heart and Kidney. When inhaled deeply its effect rises to the temples and into the brain where it brings about a sedating, almost hypnotic quietness.

 Ziziphus spinosa is a unique, small fruit tree which grows wild on plains, sunny hillsides, cliffs and bare hills in Northern China. It is a hardy, heat, drought and cold tolerant plant and can grow in nutrient-poor soils. Its fruit is rich in nutrients and mineral elements, such as calcium, phosphorus, and zinc. Its fruit, seeds, roots and even bark are used as medicine.

Suan Zao Ren’s main action is to calm the spirit. A disturbed spirit may manifest with emotional or mental symptoms including insomnia, difficulty falling or staying asleep, dream disturbed sleep, irritability, anxiety, depression, excessive worry, and forgetfulness.

 The literal translation of Suan Zao Ren means “sour date seed”. This sour quality is what accounts for its  consolidating, nourishing benefits for the blood and yin which, when insufficient, may be the cause of a disturbed spirit as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, sweating, palpitations, dizziness, etc.

For problems with sleep, Suan Zao Ren may be used alone or combined with other essential oils such as Bai Zi Ren (Biota Seed) Xie Cao (Valerian) or Wu Wei Zi (Schizandra).

Whenever phlegm accumulates and Qi collapses, this must first be used to open and guide." And, "For the miasmic damp Qi of mountain mists which invades the channels and collaterals causing intermittent cramps and spasms, Styrax is imperative."

TAO REN 桃仁 “Peach Pit”
CO2 extracted Persicae Semen, Prunus persica

Tao Ren is sourced from the mature seeds of peach trees native to the temperate regions of North and East China. Peach trees require full sun and well-drained soil with a certain number of cold days for good growth and fruiting. For medicinal preparation, the ripe fruits are harvested, the flesh is removed, the stone/pit is cracked, the seed is removed, and it is sun-dried. In Chinese tradition, the peach tree and peach wood carry one of the richest mythological, spiritual, and protective symbolisms of any plant. Their meaning spans Daoism, folk religion, medicine, and cosmology. The peach embodies spiritual protection, life-force that overcomes decay, and access to the realm of the immortals. Tao Ren, used in Chinese medicine to move blood and break stagnation, carries the same symbolic message in aromatherapy: To release what is stuck so life can move forward, deep renewal, breaking emotional repression,  freeing circulation after long stress or trauma, clearing old patterns held in the body and re-initiating movement where there has been long inertia.

The aroma of our CO2 extracted Tao Ren essential oil is strong and sharp, eliciting a prickly sensation, with tones of almond and musk. It is light yellow in color and has a smooth, pourable consistency.

Tao Ren activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis. It can be used alone or in blends applied topically to resolve pain caused by external or internal stagnant blood. It is traditionally often paired with Hong Hua (Flos Carthami) in herbal formulas and likewise in essential oil blends.

Tao Ren is famous for the treatment of a broad range of Gynecological disorders due to its potent function to activate blood circulation and break up blood stasis. For example, in the case of postpartum abdominal pain with excessive uterine bleeding, Tao Ren is an important ingredient in the exemplar formula Sheng Hua Tang which, prepared as an essential oil blend, can be applied over the lower abdomen. Other ingredients in this blend include: Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum), Gan Jiang (Ginger), and Gan Cao (LIcorice). To address menstrual pain, amenorrhea or irregular periods a blend of the following essential oils may be applied: Tao Ren, Hong Hua (Flos Carthami), Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), and Chuan Xiong (Ligusitcum). Safflower oil is recommended as the carrier oil in these blends or Castor oil if a warm compress is preferred.

Equally as effectively, Tao Ren and Hong Hua essential oils enter and invigorate the channels and collaterals to ease the pain and symptoms of external and sports injuries. To further enhance a blend for this purpose, add essential oils of Ru Xiang (Boswellia sacra), Mo Yao (myrrh) and Feng Xiang (Liqidamber formosans). If there is swelling add Yi Yi Ren (Coix), or Fu Ling (Poria).

Another tropical application for Tao Ren essential oil is for the treatment of skin sores and abscesses. For this purpose, blending Tao Ren with essential oils of Jin Yin Hua (Lonicera), Lian Qiao (Forsythia), Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica), Ru Xiang (Frankincense) and Mo Yao (Myrrh) is recommended as a paste made with green clay powder.

C02 extracted Xi Xin - Asari Herba - wild ginger
“fine acrid”

The aroma of our Xi Xin essential oil has a strong earthy, musty quality. Its pungent warmth rises upward immediately opening the nasal passages and expanding the breath. It is produced by CO2 extraction.

Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing ( Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica) identifies Herba Asari as a superior class herb. “Xi Xin is acrid and a little warm. It mainly treats cough and counterflow, headache, and shaking brain, hypertonicity of the hundred joints, wind damp impediment and pain, and dead muscles. It brightens the eyes and disinhibits the nine orifices.” (Yang Shou-zhong translation)

It is commonly used in the treatment of colds, nasal discharge and cough with thin sputum, and also for head and toothaches, as well as joint pain. Xi Xin warms the lung and resolves phlegm. Many constituents of Xi Xin are thought to stimulate the respiratory system. Xi Xi has a potent effect to both dispel wind from the exterior and warm the interior.

Topically, Xi Xin essential oil produces a local anesthetic effect.

The essential oil of Xi Xin has a strong dispersing action to open the sensory orifices. It penetrates blockages of the nasal passages and of the Shen to restore consciousness. Diffusion is appropriate for this effect.

For nasal blockage or for loss of consciousness practitioners may apply Xi Xin essential oil (appropriately diluted) topically to the nostrils. For nasal congestion, or for toothache consider combining with Bai Zhi (Agelica dahurica) e.o. When signs of heat are present, use with Huang Qin (Scutellaria) e.o.

XIAN HE CAO 仙鶴草 “Immortal Crane Herb”
CO2 extracted Agrimoniae Herba, Agrimonia pilosa

Agrimonia pilosa grows widely throughout temperate regions of China on hillsides, grasslands, forest and field edges and is commonly harvested from the wild. It is a hardy, adaptable plant tolerating a wide range of moisture conditions. The entire aerial part (stems, leaves, and small yellow flowers) is collected for medicinal use, harvested during the flowering period in summer to early autumn when medicinal potency is highest and then dried in the sun.

Aromatically, Xian He Cao essential oil first hits the nose with a grassy, earthy aroma but then quickly brings a sharp bitterness to the back of the throat which descends down the esophagus and larynx through the chest and diaphragm into the gut. The oil is dark green, almost black and opaque. Extracted by CO2, it has a rich, pourable consistency. 

The bitter nature of this herb accounts for both its astringent and detoxifying properties, although it is neutral in temperature and is not at all harsh. In fact Xian He Cao tonifies the Qi and Blood to support recovery in chronic deficiency conditions while it clears heat, stops bleeding, reduces swelling and kills various infections and parasites.

Xian He Cao essential oil may be applied by practitioners to control excessive bleeding of various etiologies. Consider combining with essential oils of Ce Bai Ye (Platycladi) and Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra). These may be diluted with Witch Hazel and applied over affected areas and on appropriate acupuncture points such as Xi Cleft points.

If there are signs of Qi and Blood insufficiency, Xian He Cao will add a binding, stabilizing dimension to other tonifying essential oils such as Ren Shen (Ginseng), Huang Qi (Astragalus), or Bai Zhu (Atractylodes) for Qi, and Gou Qi Zi (Lyceum Berry), Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis), or Carrot Seed for blood. Combining 10% essential oils with Ling Zhi Spore or Gou Qi Zi nutritional oil will make a highly nutritious and strengthening daily tonic.

Yin Yang Huo 淫羊藿 “Horny Goat Weed”
CO2 extracted Epimedii Herba, Epimedium

Epimedium plants are shade-loving perennials that thrive intemperate environments protected from intense sun and extreme dryness. Their small but distinctive yellow, white, or pale purple flowers bloom in spring to early summer. The green to reddish tinged heart-shaped or arrow-shaped leaves, which are the primary medicinal component, are harvested in late spring to early summer, when leaves are fully developed and then sun or shade dried.

The aroma of our Yin Yang Huo essential oil is rich and herbaceous with a garlic like warmth. Its taste on the tongue and olive-green color are reminiscent of pesto. Upon inhalation, energy rises to the ears while the dense, base aspect descends deeply to vibrate into the lower abdomen. 

In Chinese herbal medicine, Yin Yang Huo is valued for its tonifying action on the Kidney. The essential oil likewise is beneficial to strengthen the Kidney Yang most notably regarding its effect to increase sexual vitality and libido. (Interestingly, translation of the word “Yin” in its name means “horny” in both Chinese and English idioms.)

沅志 “Profound Will”, “Long Determination”
CO2 extracted Radix Polygala
Chinese Milkwort

Polygala tenuifolia is a perennial herb native to East Asia, characterized by thin wiry stems, narrow leaves and small, typically purplish-blue flowers, with tassel-like appendages. It thrives in dry, sunny areas of well-drained soil.

The aroma of our CO2 extracted Yuan Zhi essential oil expresses a sweet pungency, exuding from the mineral chalky scent of the root. Upon deep inhalation one notices calming, like blanketing the heart in comfort, along with the sense of something being cleared away, a weight being lifted and a new clarity arising.

Shen Nong Bên Cao Jing lists Yuan Zhi as a superior grade herb right after Shi Chang Pu (Acori graminei) and indeed they are often used together to “open the nine orifices,” brighten the eyes, sharpen the hearing, improve memory and cognitive function and prevent senility. In this classic of Chinese medicine Yuan Zhi is said to”strengthen the will and double one’s physical strength.”

Yuan Zhi’s most important attributes are to pacify Heart/Mind and calm the Shen/Spirit. It Strengthens the Heart and Kidney Qi to address disturbed Shen manifesting with symptoms such as restlessness, palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, dream disturbed sleep and nocturnal emissions.

To a great extent, it accomplishes its work on the Heart/Mind by its ability to expel phlegm in the Heart. When severe, this phlegm obstruction may cause mental or emotional disorientation and seizures. Phlegm also has a tendency to obstruct the sensory orifices causing poor hearing or sight and muddled, confused thinking.

The traditional pairing of Yuan Zhi with Shi Chang Puamplifies the above actions and is exemplified in the Sun Simiao formula, Ding Zhi Wan (Settle the Will), available in its essential oil form in our Blends section.

Yuan Zhi also assists in dispelling phlegm from the lungs. It acts as an expectorant to treat cough with sputum, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other related respiratory disorders.

Topical application of this essential oil as a paste mixed in green clay powder or egg white treats boils, abscesses, sores or swollen and painful breasts due to phlegm obstructing the channels and collaterals. Yuan Zhi Essential oil may be applied as a single oil or consider adding it to our Soothe and Clear or The Girls Blends.

Steam distilled Picea mariana

Black Spruce’s fresh, pine-like aroma is sweeter, milder and softer than most evergreen oils. Its balsamic, resinous top notes with green, woody tones instill it with purifying and cleansing attributes and promote an openness and clarity for the mind. Overall, the scent is very clean, fresh, pleasant and restorative.

Picea mariana (black spruce) is a North American species of spruce tree in the pine family. It is a frequent part of the biome known as taiga or boreal forest. The sharp, bluish-green needle-like leaves of the tree are the primary source of essential oil, which is extracted through the process of steam distillation.

Black Spruce essential oil is said to support the adrenal cortex. It is described by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt in ‘Advanced Aromatherapy’ as particularly suited to restoring depleted and overworked adrenal glands in this formula: 5% Black Spruce essential oil and 5% Pine oil in Hazelnut oil. This can be applied over the kidney area. Like many woody oils, Spruce is grounding and stimulating at the same time. While it has a calming effect on a nervous, hyperactive individual, it energizes someone who is feeling lethargic and melancholic.

Spruce essential oil is considered to be beneficial in improving memory and concentration.

As aroma therapy, Spruce essential oil benefits the Lung and opens the breathing passages, partly due to the significant percentage of camphene in it’s composition. This monoterpene is known specifically to be a powerful mucolytic, helpful for respiratory issues such as bronchitis, asthma and coughs. Camphene is also a powerful antioxidant adding to its therapeutic benefits when dealing with respiratory issues.

Practitioners may find diffusing Spruce along with Zi Su Ye essential oil for cough and congestion to be helpful.

Applied to the muscles and joints in dilution spruce essential oil enhances the bodies function and flexibility, and therefore useful to relieve joint pain, muscle stiffness and spasms. The a-pinene and bornyl acetate chemical components give Spruce essential oils anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, as well as the energetic & emotional support for calming & sedating, which it is a great addition to pain blends.

CO2 extracted Alismatis plantago rhizoma

Our Ze Xie essential oil has a sweet, musky, and earthy aroma, with a richness and depth that you can feel down into the lower abdomen and back.

Ze Xie enters the Kidney and Urinary Bladder channels. It’s cold and bland nature enables it to promote urination to leach out dampness, where heat and fluids have stagnated in the lower part of the body. It is commonly used in formulas treating damp accumulation in the lower body, such as urinary tract infections or water swelling.

It is a harmonizer of Yin and Yang - Water and Fire - able to purge both damp accumulation as well as draining ascending kidney fire.

It is no coincidence that Alismatis plantago, a plant that is naturally found growing along shores of shallow waterways, is used to treat fluid metabolism disturbances in the body. In Celtic, the word “alisma” means water.

CO2 extracted Perillae fructescens Folium
"Purple Revival Leaf"

Zi Su Ye essential oil has a pungent, distinctive aroma combining the sweetness of fresh leaves and the spice of fresh mint. Its effect concentrates the eyes, tingles the scalp, spreads along the front of the ears and the jaw and warms through the throat to the stomach. Perilla grows wild in abundance in the hills and mountains of East Asia and is a plant of the mint family. While its pungent quality enters the Qi level, the purple color of the leaf signals that it enters the blood level. Both leaf and stem are extracted to make this essential oil.

Although Zi Su Ye is traditionally useful to warm and release the exterior, our CO2 extracted essential oil, like the herb in decoction, also harmonizes the middle jiao, expands the chest, and is famous for its ability to stop nausea and vomiting, including morning sickness and to calm a restless fetus. It is also known for its special function to resolve the effects of seafood poisoning.

The Ben Cao Qiu Zen describes Zi Su Ye this way, "Its aroma can vent wind outward, its warmth can warm the middle, facilitating the comfort of the whole body. Thus it is named revive (Su)."

May be blended with Mu Xiang oil for nausea and vomiting due to spleen and stomach Qi stagnation or for morning sickness.

CO2 extracted Gardeniae Fructus
(Gardenia Fruit, Shan Zhi Zi)

The aroma of our CO2 extracted Zhi Zi essential is rich and herbaceous with a piercing bitter edge. Its effect is cooling, clarifying, and calming. It’s energy vibrates at the top of the head and expands into the eyes.

Gardenia fruit essential oil’s vibrant red-orange color illustrates its affinity with the Fire element; the heart, blood and consequently its effect on the emotions. This explains its main function to relieve irritability, restlessness, and short temper by sedating fire.

Zhi Zi enters the Triple burner, Heart, Lung, Liver and Stomach channels and so has a wide reaching effect. Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica) describes Zhi Zi as bitter and cold and says that, “It treats evil in the five internals” (i.e., five viscera).

For depression with irritability consider combining Zhi Zi with Xiang Fu (Rz. Cyperi) and Chuan Xiong (Rx. Ligusticum walllichii).

To drain damp heat from the middle burner, Liver and Gall Bladder, and for jaundice, practitioners may consider combining Zhi Zi with Yin Chen Hao

To quell Stomach fire with hyper acidity Zhi Zi with Xiao Hui Xiang (Fennel) may be of help.

A blend of Zhi Zi with Ce Bai Ye (Platycladus orientalis) and Wu Wei Zi (R. Schizandrae) may be a useful aid for bleeding caused by heat.

A Chinese folk remedy for injuries with pain, swelling and bruising uses Zhi Zi with rice wine vinegar and egg white as a poultice.

Some of Gardenia Fructus’ known pharmacological effects include: decreasing secretion of gastric acid and increasing the pH in the stomach, stimulating the production of bile. It has been shown to be analgesic, anti hypertensive, antibiotic, and hepatic protective.
